Image Capture can no longer download from iPhone

For some time - I think since Yosemite upgrade, I can no longer download photos from my iPhone 5. (I do not use iCloud, and there are some other issues with iPhoto so I haven't tried.  iTunes can still perform backup.)
Back when, I was using Google Picasa as main tool to download from iOS to MacOS.  For some time, maybe since a certain iOS (8?) update, Picasa would simply begin a download, and spill out an error upon the simplest job - like a single picture.  As such, I went back to Apple's Image Capture and found it still worked.  Until recently, that is.  Now, Image Capture simply starts an "Import", shows a progress bar, but makes no progress whatsoever.  When I retried Picasa, Picasa does the same, i.e., the error message is no more, replaced by a no-progress progress bar.
I usually only perform import when iPhone is filling up.  So this is a devastating problem.  Please help.

Hello sillyvalley,
Sorry to hear that you are having issues with importing photos to your Mac. Now I am not sure what the communication problem is with Picasa, I can say that there are other alternatives to import your photos in, like using iPhoto or Image Capture. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • ITunes connects, but neither Image Capture, nor Bridge Photo Downloader see iPhone

    Hello. When I connect my iPhone (4, running 5.1.1) to my mac (10.8.1), iTunes starts syncing (so I see the connection works in principle), but neither Adobe Bridge CS5 Photo Downloader, nor Image Capture sees the Device. Bridge says: Source – Get Photos from <None Detected>. The <Refresh List> command brings no change. In Image Capture, both the Devices and the Shared menu item remain empty, the message its main window says: No camera or scanner connected. I guess that is no unknown problem, but I somehow can't find anything on it.
    I'd be greatful for any idea.

    Just checked it. The settings in iPhoto are for "Connecting camera opens: iPhoto"
    When I connect the phone, iPhoto will launch, but the iPhone will not show up under devices.
    Where's the 2012 version of SCSI Probe when I need it?

  • Can no longer download from some of my 'usual' places, even after the 'update'. WTF?

    I've been unable to download ANYTHING from a few of my 'regular' places since I got this %#*@^ 'improved' Firefox. If it wasn't nearly impossible to do, I'd go back to the old one, at least it did ALL the things I use a browser for.
    Here's the deal. I go to one of these websites, spy something I need, and try to start a download. Does it happen? NO! Why not? Because said website admonishes me that I already have my limit of downloads in progress! Seems simple enough, you think? Sure, except that I have NO f**king downloads in progress! That never happened with the older Firefox, the one that worked. I've spoken with the webmaster of a couple of the sites involved, and they've made no changes, have no other problems, BUT they advise me that MANY of their users who have this POS 'new' Firefox are having the exact same issue.
    I hoped that, once you people issued an 'update' for this spiffy new Firefox4, you'd fix this problem. Surely I'm not the only person cursed with this problem?
    Hey, look, if you can't or won't bother to fix this, would you at least have the decency to make it easy to go back to the OLD Firefox that worked reliably?
    You can bet I'm making it my business to tell anyone and everyone I can reach that FF4 is a POS, and this is a very good time to find a new browser, like Chrome. Even IE manages to download from the website(s) FF4 no longer d/l's from.
    I'd be ashamed, if I was you.
    If it matters, mine is a plain vanilla PC, running 64-bit Win7, basic un-tweaked installation. I have the issue noted above whether or not I have any add-on's working. I've made sure to reboot the PC and restart FF4. I've downloaded and installed the alleged 'update', then again rebooted the machine, and still have the same f**king problem, website(s) think I'm already downloading. I never had this problem before I got this spiffy new Firefox4, and if it wasn't such a chore to remove it and go back to a Firefox that WORKED, I would have already done so. Now you've done an 'update', and apparently no one there gives a f**k about this. The websites involved are the same ones I've been d/l'ing from for years, with no problems, and they've made no changes. My PC hasn't been in any way changed, it's entirely the fault of Firefox4. What a POS!

  • Image capture deleted all my photos from iPhone without transferring them to the harddisk. So now I've lost 427 photos due to some data error it says. Please help me get my pictures back!?!

    I just wanted to back up my photos since I haven't done so since October 5th. I plugged in my iPhone and let Image Capture transfer the selected photos to the designated folder. Accidently I hit 'Import All but that's not the biggest problem. Apparently I had "Delete all after transfer" on AND 427 photos apparently "failed to transfer" as it said. I didn't think it was such a big problem, but then I noticed : what the ****.The delete all option was ON and now ALL my photos are gone, from the iPhone and NOT on the computer. Except a list of some old pictures I already have three backups and from the new ones between Oct 5 and this day I have a random selection >><!!!
    So please help me! How do I get my pictures back? iPhone Data recovery? Please please help. There are so many nice memories of this month and I'm so ****** that this just happened!

    If you have iCloud backup turned on or if you have recently backed up via iTunes you could restore the phone from either of those sources. Camera Roll photos are included in those backups. Be aware that doing a restore will replace the contents of the phone with the contents of the backup so you would lose anything new on the phone since the last backup. Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

  • Image Capture can't delete items on iPhone, shows 'locked' graphic

    I can't seem to press the 'delete' button or use the delete key in Image Capture. When selecting the images, it remains greyed-out. There is also a 'lock' image next to all the files. How can I delete these?

    I had this problem, too. What worked for me was going into Settings > iCloud > Photos on my iPhone, and turning off iCloud Photo Library.

  • After upgrading to Apeture I lost half the photos. And can no longer download from my digital Camera. What can I do?

    After upgrading to Apeture I lost  half my photos from iPhoto. And find it difficut to transfer images
    from digital camers. Do you have a solution? Can I download direct to hard drive and skip Aperture?

    Since iPhoto and Aperture use the same library format now, do you see your missing photos when you open the same library in iPhoto again? Did you upgrade both Aperture and iPhoto? Have you checked to see if you've entered any text into the various search fields in Aperture? Have you checked for any hidden search filters?
    As for transferring digital photos, when you say it's difficult, do you mean that the process is complicated, or that there seem to be actual problems transferring the images?

  • I can no longer download from the web!

    I haven't had this problem before  I have always been able to down load from theses sites.  When I'm on a fileshare site like filesonic 'which i'm a member of so have full download rights', I am unable to down load the file.  It appears in the safari download dropdown and quicklt downloads the file for no more than 2 seconds and states it finished.  Thses file should be taking up to 6 minutes plus to download.  When you open the file there is nothing in there.  I can download these files on my PC so I know that it not my internet provider or the site.  Can anyone help?

    http://www.filesonic.com/file/4186156625/Grooverider_-_BBC_Radio1-SAT-12-12-2011 -SO_32060.rar  This should take you to the site/loctaion.  You don't need to be a member, (which i am) to download, just takes longer.  As soon as the download file goes into the thwnload dropdown, it say it's compleate almost instantly.  When you open it up it has downloaded.

  • Can no longer print from iphone or ipad?

    Recently, Early Feb 20012, I lost ability to print from I phone or I pad.  I cloud no longer asks for my password? What happened.  Both devices lost airprint ability at same time.  I have an air print capable printer (Officejet pro 8500A)  and had no trouble previouly.

    Have you tried turning off your router then back on (unplug it, wait a short time, replug)?  And likewise your devices and printer? 

  • Can no longer download itunes music. Says all content will be lost. No longer on original computer. Is there any way I can download from itunes without losing content.

    You can transfer you iTunes purchases to your new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. You can manage music amond different computers by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    If you wnat to make the new computer your syncing computer you must restore the iPod. 
    - See if you can make a backup of the iPod on the new computer by right clicking on the iPod in iTunes and select backup.  If successsful, restore the iPod from that backup after tansfering your iTunes purchases to the new computer.
    - If you can't make a backup copy/move the backup file from the old computer, That file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    You may have to turn off hide hidden files.
    If you do not have the backup file you have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync your stuff to the iPod.  You will loss all your app data.

  • Can no longer download to Adobe Digital Edition

    I used to be able to borrow books from the public library for my eReader.  I would download them to Adobe Digital and then transfer them to the eReader.  I can no longer download from the library.  A get an error message that "Windows" does not recognize the file.  What is the problem?

    Since iPhoto and Aperture use the same library format now, do you see your missing photos when you open the same library in iPhoto again? Did you upgrade both Aperture and iPhoto? Have you checked to see if you've entered any text into the various search fields in Aperture? Have you checked for any hidden search filters?

  • HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store.  Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist.  I tried to downloaad more than one at a time.  The download stopped.  Now I can not download at all.

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

  • It says apps are taking up more space on my phone than they actually are. I can no longer download anything to my iPhone. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

    please please please help! It says in my iPhone Free Space area on iTunes that the apps on my phone are taking up 9.20 GB when I only have one page of apps (all fairly small ones, too!). I can no longer download anything to my phone because of this, and I need help to bring my "app space" down from the incorrect number.

    Hi Lisa,
    Did you ever manage to resolve this issue? I"m having exactly the same issue. I have about 350MBs of App stuff on my phone but it says it's using 10gigs!!! Have no idea how to resolve this...NE ideas?

  • I am running an older machine OS 10.6.8. I can no longer snyc my iphone. It tells me to download the latest itune which I don't seem to be able to do. Someone told me that my OS is too old. True?

    You can use the latest iTunes (11.1.3) on 10.6.8 - if Software Update doesn't provide it (which it should) then you can download it from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • Windows XP can no longer "see" my iPhone as a camera/imaging device

    can't sync photos from iPhone to computer; Windows XP doesn't even see it as a camera or imaging device. Weird, since iTunes is able to synch music/contacts.
    No matter how I check, Windows XP can't find the device:
    control panel --> scanners and cameras - nothing!
    My Computer --> devices with removable storage - no iPhone
    Computer Management--> Device Manager - no iPhone or scanner/camera

    UPDATE - I think I've resolved my problem and that it is related to having my iPhone "passcode locked".
    1. I connected it and unlocked the iPhone, synced music, but had the problems I noted in my original discussion post
    2. I disconnected the iPhone, closed iTunes, reopened iTunes and reconnected the iPhone (making sure it was NOT passcode locked before connecting it) -- everything works fine.
    3. now I can get back to my original issue, was to figure out how to get only my NEW iPhone captured photos to synch, or at least have them date ordered. But that's a subject for another post.
    BOTTOM LINE - passcode lock may be the key for those who are having problems with their PC not able to see the iPhone as a camera/imaging device
